Welcome to Belhaven and Spott Parish Church
A welcome message from our new minister, Rev. Alastair Stark
Welcome to our website, which we hope will give you a flavour of the sorts of things we get up to – and the kind of people we are – here at Belhaven and Spott Parish Church. We are a Church of Scotland congregation, and as of 1 August 2023, what had previously been the separate congregations of Belhaven and Spott are now together as one united church.
NORMAL SUNDAY SERVICE SCHEDULE: We would love for you to visit us if you are in the area – our normal weekly worship services are on Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. at Spott, and at 11:30 a.m. at Belhaven, although normally there are no services at Spott on the 2nd Sunday of each month, and there are no services at Belhaven on the 5th Sunday of the month (in those months which have a 5th Sunday).
Whether you come along once or decide to join us regularly for worship, we hope you will find that we live up to our Mission Statement: Belhaven and Spott Parish Church is an inclusive, welcoming family. We seek through the love of God to help all people grow in faith and service, worshiping God and living out the Gospel as part of the community. Join us as we explore our relationship with God, and seek to understand our role as stewards of the world around us.
Be sure to also check out our Facebook page, particularly - but not exclusively - for news, recaps and photos regarding our exciting Messy Church and Breakfast Church initiatives (as detailed on the What's On page of this website).
Vacancy Filled!
